About Granville
Granville is an established Western Sydney suburb located 18 kilometres west of the Sydney CBD, split between the Cumberland City Council and the City of Parramatta. With a population of around 16,700 residents, it is a historically significant suburb — originally named Parramatta Junction when the first NSW railway line terminated here in 1855. The suburb is characterised by a mix of older fibro and brick homes alongside newer medium-density developments.
Granville offers a lively main street with independent shops, cafes, and community services, with proximity to the larger retail hub of Merrylands just to the west. The suburb is popular with young families and first-home buyers drawn by relative affordability and strong transport links. Granville Station provides direct train access to both Parramatta and the Sydney CBD, and the suburb sits within the thriving Greater Parramatta growth corridor.
Granville falls under postcode 2142 and is governed by Parramatta Council (LGA). For state elections, residents vote in the Granville electorate.
